Chapter 837 Promote
When I came to the Phoenix Dynasty, my first identity was not a royal consort, but a hostage.

As a proton, of course I can't go to the battlefield outside the domain.

How can you be a hostage if you go to a battlefield outside the domain?
To the Phoenix Dynasty, what kind of hostage is it if it’s not in their hands?
Under normal circumstances, I would never be able to go to a battlefield outside the domain.

But for me, the battlefield outside the domain is the real holy place for cultivation.
Whether it is the Haoyang Demon Subduing Mirror or the Tianlong Yin, they can be used to help the demons and monsters practice. When you reach the battlefield outside the domain, you will be like a dragon entering the sea.

Now is the chance.

I hope to go to the battlefield outside the domain.

Will the Emperor of the Phoenix Dynasty and his ministers keep me as a hostage or send me out of the imperial city?

Li Miaotan said angrily, "Husband! Stop talking nonsense!"

"How courageous!" Li Cunren clapped his hands in praise, then shook his head: "But you are now the target of public criticism, brother-in-law. Not only the demons want to kill you, but the devils too. If you go to the battlefield outside the domain, you will be attacked by everyone. How can you have a chance to survive?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Which of our spirit guards would not be killed by all the demons and monsters if they went to the outer battlefield? The outer battlefield is not here, it is vast and boundless. It is not easy to find people, and it is not easy to kill me either."

"It's different!" Li Miaotan shook her head slightly.

"It's indeed different." The second prince Li Cunyi said softly, "In the battlefield outside the domain, they killed our spirit guards, but they didn't target any one of them. They weren't that persistent. But it's different for you, brother-in-law. If you enter the battlefield outside the domain, the danger is a hundred times or a thousand times that of a normal spirit guard. You have a high chance of death, or even no chance of survival... You can't go to this battlefield outside the domain, brother-in-law!"

"That's right." Li Miaotan quickly agreed.

Li Cunren snorted, "Brother-in-law, don't say these things again! Look how scared my twelfth sister is!"

Chu Zhiyuan held Li Miaotan's hand awkwardly.

Her hands were cold.

Li Cunren sneered: "Don't forget, this is our territory, we won't allow the demons and monsters to act recklessly!"

Chu Zhiyuan was quite disappointed, his expression solemn: "Then there is another way, I will bring a few experts to sweep the surrounding area."

This is the next best thing.

"Although this is dangerous, it is much better than going to a battlefield outside the domain!" said Li Cunren.

Li Cunyi said: "We can't let you, my brother-in-law, do it all the time. It's time for those arrogant masters from various sects to show their skills."

If Chu Zhiyuan really led his men to sweep the surrounding area, the imperial court would lose all face.

Is it possible that there is no one left in such a huge Phoenix Dynasty?
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Second brother, these demons are coming for me. It is my duty to kill them. What's more, my presence will make it easier to lure them out."

Such an opportunity cannot be missed again.

Li Cunren said: "Brother-in-law, I know that you didn't lure them out, but you found them."

My brother-in-law's sensing ability is amazing and beyond my imagination.

He had experienced this before, and this time it further confirmed his ability to sense things.

Obviously this is a unique talent, and if used well, it can be extremely powerful.

Especially this time when the demons and monsters invaded, there was no movement in Fengtian Palace and the city guards had been hiding in their hiding places.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Maybe it's because I was almost killed by them once, so I have this special feeling."

Li Miaotan snorted and said, "Fengtian Palace..."

Chu Zhiyuan interrupted her hurriedly: "Madam, it is possible that the emperor is playing a big game and we have ruined it."

This was also what he had just thought of in a flash of inspiration.

"Hmm——?" Li Miaotan frowned slightly.

Li Cunren was excited: "Big chess?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If Fengtian Palace can detect the approach of demons, it should alert the emperor, right? How could the emperor not take any action? He may be acting in the dark."

"That makes sense." The second prince Li Cunyi said hurriedly, "Father will never let them wreak havoc. He may have found a way to eliminate this trouble forever."

Li Miaotan snorted, "It's also possible that Fengtian Palace didn't sense it."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly.

My wife has a lot of opinions about Fengtian Palace, there must be a reason for it.

Li Cunren said: "Twelfth sister, there is a treasure in Fengtian Palace, you can sense it."

"What if the treasure fails to work?" Li Miaotan snorted, "Don't trust the treasure too much. Just like when the demons broke into the cave, did Fengtian Palace sense it?"

"Twelve Sister, please stop talking," Li Cunren said, "That's in the cave, it can't be sensed."

Li Miaotan snorted, "So after all this talk, there's nothing we can do?"

Li Cunren frowned and thought deeply.

The second prince Li Cunyi said: "According to what my brother-in-law said, we really shouldn't act rashly. It's better to wait and see what happens."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "This is just my personal opinion, for reference only."

Li Cunyi said with emotion: "Brother-in-law, you are worthy of being able to survive in such a dangerous environment. Your sense of smell is more acute than ours."

The living environment of his sister-in-law was extremely bad. He was despised by the emperor above, isolated by his brothers and sisters below, and shunned and even attacked by officials in between.

Being able to live peacefully until now and escape from the quagmire of Yujing Imperial City is really amazing.

Its sense of smell is sharper and deeper, far beyond what I can achieve.

With his help, the third brother might be a little difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, the third brother looked down on him, distanced himself from him and hated him, and would not use his strategies.

The boss should have seen his extraordinaryness, so he tried hard to win him over.

In this way, even if he cannot be used for his own benefit, he can still sow discord between him and the third brother and prevent him from using him.

The boss is indeed the boss, stupid on the outside but a traitor on the inside!

-

After they left, Li Miaotan remained silent.

Chu Zhiyuan saw that she was unhappy, so he smiled and said, "Madam, if you really want to go to the battlefield outside the domain, we can go together."

Li Miaotan shook his head: "The battlefield outside the domain is strange, everyone is alone, and they can't gather together."

"Don't you Spirit Guards have treasures like the Lingxi Pearl?"

"Have."

"With a treasure like that, we can get together anytime."

Li Miaotan nodded slightly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Of course I don't want to be separated from you, but the situation is pressing. I guess many people in the court will ask me to leave the imperial city. There is no need for me to resist and make things difficult for everyone."

"It's not a big deal," Li Miaotan snorted, "Whether we leave or not, they can't say anything!"

Her depressed mood suddenly eased. Seeing her smile, Chu Zhiyuan said, "Let's continue the competition."

"Come!" Li Miaotan was cheered up.

……

As the sun sets, Chu Zhiyuan stands with his hands behind his back in front of the bamboo forest in the courtyard, deep in thought.

He once again felt the limit of his soul's capacity.

When the demon crystal merges into the body, it can no longer strengthen the soul, but only the body.

This situation has occurred more than once.

But this is the first time I have felt it so clearly.

The last time he broke through the limit was when Tian Longyin made progress, which greatly increased the capacity of his soul.

Tianlong is now at the sixth transformation, and it will take a long time to reach the seventh transformation.

The most promising one is the Infinite Light Sutra. If one can break through to the third level, the limit will definitely be broken.

But the breakthrough of the third turn seems to be just around the corner, yet it seems very far away.

This is the helplessness of practicing in the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It is impossible to improve your true energy by practicing hard. You need to feel the world and people's hearts, hone your state of mind, and feel the heaven and earth.

I have enough understanding of human hearts and mental states, but not enough understanding of the heaven and earth.

See a more real, clearer and more complex world on the battlefield outside the domain.

Therefore, the overseas battlefield is the first choice.

……

early morning
Chu Zhiyuan walked to Wenhua Building.

As soon as he pushed the door open and entered an elegant room, he shook his head helplessly: "Uncle Jiu, can we change places?"

"Is the Wenhua Building not good here?"

Chu Hongwei transformed into a handsome young man, as handsome as Chu Zhiyuan, and radiant.

He was holding a folding fan, gently patting his palms, and looking at Chu Zhiyuan with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down at the table and said, "If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet. It's too dangerous."

He has already discovered Chu Hongwei's hobby.

Relying on his extraordinary skills and the ability to change his appearance at will without any flaws, he took risks to seek excitement.

This is really not the right thing to do.

He speculated that it was probably due to being in the Phoenix Dynasty for a long time and being under too much pressure.

"I don't care." Chu Hongwei said, "If you are exposed, go back to the court."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Jiu, you can't wait to go back."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"I would like to ask Uncle Jiu for a small favor."

"What's the deal?"

“The news that the demon and devil masters are wreaking havoc outside the city seems to have never spread.”

"You want the word to spread?"

"Well, we also need to let everyone know why the demons and monsters are all running outside the imperial city."

"...What are you doing again, kid?" Chu Hongwei frowned and looked at him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "See if I can get away."

Chu Hongwei's eyes were burning as he thought quickly.

Of course he knew why these demons and monsters ran outside the imperial city.

All for the Phoenix bloodline.

Now that the Phoenix bloodline has been activated, we can no longer expect to kill Li Miaotan, so we can only hinder Li Miaotan's improvement in cultivation.

Killing Chu Zhiyuan is the best way and the quickest way.

Of course, you can also kill the queen or the emperor, and these can affect Li Miaotan's state of mind.

But killing the Queen and the Emperor is too difficult, almost impossible, but killing Chu Zhiyuan is very likely.

"You want to stir up public outrage and create a wave of resistance against you and expulsion from the bottom up?"

"Uncle Jiu, do you think it can be done?"

Chu Hongwei groaned: "If everyone wants you to get out, it's not worth it for the emperor to go against the people's wishes."

He then snorted, "But my royal brother doesn't want you to leave Phoenix Imperial City."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Hasn't the third brother always wanted to come to the Imperial City? Just let him come."

Since the two dynasties have reached an agreement, there must be a hostage, and if I leave, I will naturally have to exchange him for a hostage.

"You kid!" Chu Hongwei laughed: "You are going to push him into the fire pit."

"Third brother may not think it's a pit of fire, he may even be happy with it and be grateful to me," Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, are you willing to help me with this?"

Chu Hongwei fell into deep thought.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Jiu, if you don't help, then I will find someone else. The news will eventually spread."

"...You may not be able to get what you want." Chu Hongwei snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"Forget it." Chu Hongwei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll help you this time."

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Uncle Jiu!"

"There's not much I can do to help you." Chu Hongwei shook his head: "The court still blames you for not being able to stop the Phoenix bloodline from awakening."

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and shook his head: "Let them be."

These guys are trying to figure out the Holy Spirit's intentions.

I am far away in the Phoenix Dynasty. Could it be that the imperial edict has come to punish me?
